THE LEGEND

ER’s Message

October 2020

Every month is an opportunity to discover

something or make a decision that will

change your life forever.

Don’t miss it! Do whatever you have to do

to make your life as exciting as possible.

Happy new month!

To my Kinderhook Elks Family, Welcome fall!!! The country is starting to open up and along with it a surge in Covid. Please remember when you come to the Lodge to en-ter through the back entrance, mask on, sign in, sit down and then you can remove your mask. Lets stay open, there are not many of us that attend but the few that do we want it to stay this way. A little normalcy is better than none. Thank you to all who have helped with the yard sale and steak bake. Get this, the yard sale made $3000. WOO HOO. We are slowly bridging the gap left from no fair. Please be mindful of other members. If you can check in on them just to say hi it would be a great thing. There are so many sad events happen-ing in the lives of our members. When you get that gut feeling that says check up on someone, don’t ignore it, do it. God is telling you something. A friend did this for me on a bad day, and it meant so much. Thank you to her!! The kitchen is getting done so hopefully we will be able to start up breakfasts and dinners again. That means we will need commitments from you to help with cooking, serving and cleanup. Also, Dave needs help, many bar-tenders haven’t come back, and we completely understand that. If you are willing to help out please reach out to Dave, many barkeeps are working 4 or more shifts per month.

We are halfway through the Lodge year. We need you!!! Would you like to help move the Lodge forward? Come find out what a chair involves, or attend a trustees meeting, maybe you would like to become one. There are many hats to wear here, pick one and try it on. Marion Stegmann is a go!! We are working out the details, and we will continue to update you as we proceed. “The purpose of human life is to serve, and to show compassion and the will to help others” Albert Schweitzer Thank you for everything you do for the Lodge and the community we serve. We couldn’t do what we do without your help and support. Anne Leiser ER

Our teacher asked what my favorite animal was, and I said, "Fried chicken." She said I was not funny, but she couldn't have been right, because everyone else laughed. My par-ents told me to always tell the truth. I did. Fried chicken is my favorite animal. I told my dad what happened, and he said my teacher was probably a member of PETA. He said they love animals. I do, too. Especially chicken, pork, and beef. Anyway, my teacher sent me to the princi-pal's office. I told him what happened, and he laughed, too. Then he told me not to do it again. The next day in class my teacher asked me what my favorite live animal was. I told her it was chicken. She asked me why, so I told her it was because you could make them into fried chicken. She sent me back to the principal's office. He laughed and told me not to do it again. I don't understand. My parents taught me to be honest, but my teacher doesn't like it when I am. Today, my teacher asked me to tell her what famous person I admired most. I told her, "Colonel Sanders." Guess where I am now...


October’s Birthday’s

Don’t count the candles, just enjoy the glow!

Wishing you a day filled

with happiness and a year filled with joy.

We hope your special day will bring you lots of happiness, love, and fun.

What would you like to see in the

newsletter? We are always looking

for ideas to make this newsletter

even better.


If you want to an enjoyable adventure, take a scenic ride and learn a bit of Elks' history go to Florida. Florida, Massachusetts that is. About 50 miles from Valatie on Mass route 2 (the Mohawk Trail) stands an impressive sculpture of a regal elk. The monument was erected in 1923 by the Massachusetts Elks Association in honor of Elks from the Commonwealth who gave their lives dur-ing the First World War, The eight foot high bronze statue of an elk stands on a three foot high rough cut granite base. The elk holds his head high and has a full rack of antlers.

The memorial was dedicated on June 17, 1923. At that time a time capsule was also buried to be opened 100 years later. The opening is not that far off, it's scheduled to occur in June of 2022.

Have you seen the "Elk on the Trail ?

Recently, Jim McKay and Larry Eleby spent an afternoon with friends riding motorcycles and visited the "Elk on the Trail". The ride over to Florida from Valatie took about an hour-and-fifteen minutes by way of route 22 in NY and routes 43, 7 and 2 in Mass.

That is through New Lebanon in Stephentown, New York and Hancock, Williamstown and North Adams in Mass. It was quite a scenic ride and the monument which is on the side of route 2 at the top of Whitcomb summit is impressive to all and especially meaningful to member Elks.


Elk of the Month

Since we have so many outstanding elks, the newsletter committee has decided to recognize an elk that has consistently gone the extra mile.

As you all know by now, we like to give recognition to a member that gives that little extra for the benefit of the Lodge.

The Elk of the month for October has been a member for decades. He is always willing to help when and wherever he can. He is a PER and will fill in any chair that is needed even when he gets a call 10 minutes before the meeting starts. He has been crew chief, bacon cooker, dish washer, bbq helper,

car parker and anything else that he is able to do he does. He is a very calm person, and he loves the NY Jets.

The Elk of the month for October is PER Frank Masten.

Care & Craftsmanship in All our Work

Complete Collision Service Since 1990

Larry Knott, we can never thank you enough for all the sup-

port you give to the lodge. Larry is at every event, comes in

each day to help the lounge, clean the facility, he lends an

ear and will always cheer you up when you’re feeling down.

We all love his humor. He is our energizer bunny that you

sometimes want to pull the battery out of because his mouth

just keeps going and going. But that is why we love him so

much. He is always helping and never asks for anything in

return.
